It’s cloudy and a light drizzle is falling. It’s almost November. It feels like it should be a perfect day to sit around in fuzzy, cozy, oversized clothing and enjoy some laid-back time with family.
There’s just one problem. Something in my DNA is telling me that it should be colder. Walking barefoot around the house on the tile should send me scurrying for a pair of slippers. Instead…
Adam is sitting behind me in the family room, poking me in the back and doing his impression of DeNiro in “Analyze This!”
“You. You! You’re good!”
Mind you, he’s never seen the movie, and the closest thing he has to an Italian American acquaintance is his German/Irish/English/Swiss/American father who does the occasional impression to entertain the kids.

I’ve heard time and again about the White House censoring government reports to fit their view of the world, so I shouldn’t be surprised by this…
Dr. Julie Gerberding is the director of the CDC, and she was in front of Congress to give testimony about the potential impact of global warming on our health. According to the AP, her testimony focused on the CDC’s action plan… without giving…
On an intellectual level, I knew that going ten months without exercise (of any kind) would have an effect on my body. Yesterday I did twenty minutes on the rollers* in a low gear (with both resistance units removed), and I just about died.
